    Good for a PH neutral wash but as KA said nowhere as good as BH twins. Prob my favorite PH neutral snow foam tho.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The wife’s Buick got a brand new windshield. Even a new factory windshield has embedded contaminants. It required cleaning, claying, polishing, cleaning again and then sealing with Aquapel. The Aquapel directions suggest using a paper towel to buff the product off. There is no way a paper towel is touching my windshield.

    Really nice product. Sprayer mists the product very well. It darkens the interior vinyl surfaces, spreads and levels extremely well. Leaves a dark matte non greasy finish. Adds Sio2 as well. Really nice product.

    I am very intrigued by the Nappa Coat product, I have never tried any Fireball products

    I would love to hear your thoughts a month or so down the road

    I got turned down for a job. A neighbor wanted her filthy (her word choice, not mine) Escape cleaned and I shot her what I thought was a fair price. She never responded. I'm sad now. I'm going to my room to cry.

    My g/f's Cruze turned yellow overnight, so I took it right back to my touch-free wash and took care of it. Once home I topped up her tires with a single coat of Mr. Cartoon Tire Coat, stuff goes on soooo easy. Her tires had that "new" look, so I just added some sheen to them What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    We'll be taking it to movies later to see "IF"What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Mother nature wasn't looking great last night so a last minute detail reschedule pushed our two main daily drivers to the cool-down moment for me after some early yard work. Yes, I like to play in water.
    Suburban Dad Routine complete. Yard work done, cars washed, lunch made, and now onto a nice Bourbon evening and dinner with the family.

    Yeah I've always liked the idea of a true tire coating but not too many have come through with it. I mean Turtle What did you do today, in regards to detailing? Wax themselves had one over a decade ago and then it just disappeared. Optimum had one and most people had issues with it browning/flaking on the tires, yours truely included, I had to throw the bottle away, only after trying it on several different tiresWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The wife traded in her Bronco for a Black Telluride yesterday because she hates me. It was between getting a Black car or an electric one, I rather deal with a Black car than electric one so she brought this home late last night.

    I told the dealer not to touch it and I cleaned it this morning. Coated the leather with Gyeon but didn't coat the exterior since it was rainy and very humid out. I will polish and coat it when we get a sunny weekend.

    Nothing is as beautiful as someone else’s black vehicle…. Nothing is as satisfying as a fresh clean on a black car nor as sad how it looks 30 mins after cleaning.


    Funny the longer the Broncos are out the less I’m starting to like them. Telluride though love the styling.
